Atleti: Unbreakable Faith
Beyond the challenges that arise in the Champions League or La Liga, Simeone continues to prove his worth. Despite the criticism and those who anticipate the end of a cycle, Simeone’s Atleti continues to fight tooth and nail.
As of today, the team is fighting in the top positions of La Liga, is still alive in the Champions League with the return leg at home, and in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, also with the return leg at the Metropolitano.
In a football world where the big teams dominate, Atlético remains a rebel, and that’s why it receives different treatment. The calendar presents demanding challenges, with matches that require maximum effort. Despite a notable physical improvement, some key players show signs of exhaustion.
Certain positions, such as the full-backs, do not reach elite level, and the lack of a pure ‘5’ is evident. Koke and Barrios offer solutions, but they do not consolidate in that role. Griezmann, after an irregular season, raises doubts about his current physical condition.
Despite everything, Atlético fights for everything without an apparent logical reason. At the Metropolitano, faith and hope are powerful weapons. Maybe this time, the luck that was previously elusive will be on our side. Perhaps Oblak, De Paul, Julián and Griezmann will lead us to victory.
And, above all, perhaps Simeone will lead us to glory. If things don’t turn out as we hope, there will always be the memory of those nights where, beyond the game, we never stopped believing. But if success comes… what joy awaits us!
